Return to Normality

After the summer break the team at A Blog for All Seasons is now resuming normal service. There will be entries from some new contributors as well as from others who have written before. Perhaps unusually, the summer has not been the ‘quiet’ period it is conventionally taken to be. Turbulence in the global markets, the fall of Colonel Gaddafi’s regime and unrest on the streets of a number of British Cities are hardly examples of ‘silly-season’ quietude. These instances are not ‘settled’ issues and will be present in the news agenda for a while yet. A Blog for All Seasons will be providing comment on these topics and much, much more during the forthcoming weeks and months. For the present, this article by Austen Ivereigh may be of interest to readers.
